Post c section poo
How long is it taking you all to go for a poo after a section? I’m sure it was 6 days with my first it took me but I don’t know how long it is until you have to start worrying 🫠 I don’t actually need one yet I think the codine is making me constipated! But I’m day 5 and still no sign

@Sam thank you!! She’s coming round tomorrow to weigh little one so I’m gonna to mention it to her and see if I can get any xx
I was day 5 I think and omg did it hurt. That’s when I stopped my oramorph as it would only get worse
It's worth getting on top of as the longer it goes the worse the issue gets. I was gonna write a post of my experience so other people take the laxatives and don't wait like I did with my first. Good luck! X
I went on day 3 and it did hurt but I stopped oramorph the morning of and had been drinking as much water as I could. Have been once since getting home on day 5 but nothing since then and now on day 7. Going to start taking some lactalose I think! Good luck

I didn't pooh until 7 days after having my daughter, I think the fear prevented me going. I didn't have a c section but did have an episiotomy and forceps. I ended up calling 111 and taking movicol to get things moving as I'd become impacted aswell. This time, I tore and had stitches but I've been taking lactulose daily as I didn't want to get to that stage again. Definitely agree that the drugs will be making things worse for you. I'd suggest speaking to 111 / your midwife and starting to take something to help get things going x
